After the first year from the fracture event, the risk of mortality is comparable to that of the general population standardized by age and sex (Figures 4 and 5) (14, 15). Some of the deaths following hip fracture are related to the acute complications of the fracture or of its surgical management, though many appear related to co-existing illnesses. An increased risk of death following hip fracture is associated with advanced age, male sex, psychiatric diseases, untreated systemic diseases, delay of intervention to over 4 days from fracture, post-operative complications. The main causes of mortality are infections (pneumonia, septicaemia), myocardial infarction, heart failure, pulmonary embolism. Prolonged hospitalization before and after surgery increases the risk of deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary complications (embolism, pneumonia), urinary tract infections and cutaneous lesions. Incidence of thrombo-embolic events on patients with hip fracture is at least 40%, but one out of 4 shows signs of pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombosis.

However, the women with five or more risk factors had an even greater risk of hip fracture if their bone density Z-score was in the lowest tertile. Many studies suggest an increased mortality among patients who develop osteoporotic fractures, particularly fractures of the hip (13). Mortality in the acute phase reaches 5% and after a. 118.

TE. thesis are sepsis in less then 5% of cases, dislocation in 4% of arthroplasty and 10% in total ones. On the other hand, patients treated with open reduction and internal fixation are at risk of non-unions in 20-30% of cases and avascular necrosis of the femoral head in 25-30% of hip fractures. One year after the fracture event less than half of the patients is able to walk autonomously with return to main ADLs and almost 20% looses completely the ability to walk and develops a total dependence. Almost 20% of patients require admittance to long-staying facilities. There are two major types of hip fractures: cervical hip fractures (intracapsular fractures) and trochanteric hip fractures (extracapsular fractures). Data indicate that trochanteric fractures are somewhat more associated with osteoporosis than cervical fractures. Treatment for cervical hip fractures is by hip replacement or nailing, and for trochanteric fractures, sliding screw and plates or intramedullary fixation. Risk factors for prolonged hospital stay are age over 80 years, mental impairment, need for support for the ADLs and absence of family care (16). In over 75 years patients, about 33.000 open reduction and internal fixation and about 19.000 partial hip arthroplasties are performed every year in Italy. These procedures, added to total hip arthroplasty due to fracture, reach a total cost of 900 millions Euro. Further costs have to be added, such as rehabilitation, home care, drugs and indirect costs for working days lost due to loss of productivity in the family, for an impending total of 1.800 millions Euro (17).. ©.
